Today I felt happy & decided to just revel in it.  Sometimes the sensation of “happy” in my world is met with “uh oh, better worry about what will take this good feeling away” and so gets totally trounced & not really enjoyed.  No way, not this time, baby!
After the home warm-up, went to Lynne’s (the [...]

Okay, so the song reference is waaay old — but still!!!
Got the dream job I was hoping for and starting mid-August will be assisting a Forrest Yoga class on Wednesday nights and teaching on Thursday nights at Back Bay Yoga, Boston.  Woo hoooooo!!!
It’s funny, getting ready for the audtion I could see so clearly all the options [...]

After the high drama rant of yesterday (I love a good vent), today is just a little note & request for good thoughts. 
Got a teaching audition at Hopeful New Yoga Studio tomorrow at noon & would looooove for it to go well.   Since begging and pleading for a job can never truly replace preparation, I’m [...]

A trifecta of influences including a friend (www.schmetterlingyoga.blogspot.com), teacher (Cat Kabira of Back Bay & South Boston Yoga) and a fellow blogger (http://talesofadisorderedeater.org/) have got me cogitating hard.
The topic that keeps coming up is: what to do with uncomfortable, yucky, blech, annoying, just awful feelings.  We all know the ones: shame, misery, self-hatred, depression, take your [...]

Today was a “lost” day demonstrating yet again that for me, a morning practice is essential & our habits are best aligned with our natures.  Changing/evolving habits to encourage those that serve us and let go of things that harm us is part of our yoga lives… but sometimes, really, we just gotta go with what works!  [...]

Am I the only one who still thinks of that guy from U2 every time the phrase “The Edge” comes up in yoga?  Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless… : )
A friend & I were emailing on that topic today.  The first thing folks usually learn is that they’ve hit their “edge” in a pose when their breating [...]

As I go to classes at Hopeful New Home Studio, it’s hard to turn off  “teacher self” off while being “student self.”   And I’ve stopped fighting it, cuz the whole reason I go to classes is to learn on all levels.   Good, bad or indifferent, there’s something to learn.  (And if the class is bad, or [...]

I do believe the storm broke today.
Quite literally as well as metaphorically.  It was pouring from late last night up until mid-afternoon.  BH (Beloved Husband : ) discovered this when a wet cat jumped into bed at some ungodly time.  He investigated & discovered we’d left the skylight was open.   Ooops.  Bless his sweet heart, BH mopped up [...]

(Comcast was a day late, but I am f-ing THRILLED to be back online & will be catching up on folks in the next day or so.  YAY!)
So, the remake of The Italian Job (ya know, the one with Donald Sutherland, Marky Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron…) is a personal guilty pleasure.  Not just as an homage to the [...]

But I hope to soon!!  Have hopefully found a new yoga home in Boston but will save details on that for another few days; don’t wanna jinx it. : ) 
We have successfully arrived in Cambridge and are in chaos — boxes dominate the apartment, finding out where the grocery store is, and when trash day [...]
